Pick the right pattern and a fabric you love, and with a little time and effort, you'll be creating a wearable item and there will be no looking back!
Make this beautiful dress for her to wear to the Easter Egg hunt. Just think of the photo opportunities to go along with it!
It's all familiar but it's still always exciting to finally see the growth of what's been lying dormant, knowing it's so full of potential. And we also have the opportunity to, once again, celebrate the woman (or women) who have always been there, patiently waiting to see new growth of what they know is lying dormant and so full of potential in us. They nurture the good and prune away the bad and do their best to grow us into something strong and beautiful, all the while understanding just how delicate we really are. It's a fine balance!
The idea of something dormant being so full of potential found its way into my idea for a Mother's Day gift this year. I decided to transform an old pair of jeans into a gardening apron and a garden tool caddy for a 5-gallon bucket. The back of a pair of jeans provide great ready-made pockets for an apron while the weight and durability of the denim is perfect for withstanding the harsh realities of a life working in the garden. An added bonus is there is little finishing of edges because you can retain the jean seams and use them as your apron edges.
I started by ripping out the crotch seam of the jeans using the Fiskars Sew Taxi. You can just cut across the back of the jeans but ripping out the seam gave me a little extra length and allowed me to create a level edge along the bottom of my apron.
I used a Fiskars acrylic ruler, rotary cutter, and cutting mat to do this. Prior to cutting the bottom edge, I used the 8 inch Razor-Edge Softgrip Scissors to cut along outside leg seams which helped flatten out the back of the jeans and made it easier to cut them. I left the inside leg seams intact so the legs could be used for the garden tool caddy. I left notches along the waist band since the cut edge there would not be a finished seam. These were folded over and stitched down.
Rather than just hem the bottom edge, I added a simple ruffle and some crocheted trim removed from an old pillowcase. More potential lying dormant! To create the tie for the apron, I stitched 5 inch wide strips of fabric together end to end, pressed the seams open, and folded strip in half lengthwise with right sides together. I stitched the raw edges together leaving a small opening for turning. After turning the strip right side out, I edge stitched along the edge with the seam and looped the tie through the belt loops.
The legs of the jeans became the panels for the garden tool caddy. I used mens' bootcut jeans and when opened up, the legs were 17 inches wide. I measured burlap to a height of 7 1/2 inches. For the length, I measured 17 inches and added 3 inches for each pocket to allow for the deep sides. You can add more or less to fit your needs. I hemmed the bottom edge 1/2 inch, ironing it to crease it. Yes, you can iron burlap!
To make the binding for the top edge of the pockets, I divided the length of the burlap strip by 3 (for 3 pockets) and pieced together 3 different fabrics to this length. The height of the strips is 4 inches. I then folded and pressed the long edges of the strip in toward the center (wrong sides together) to create a 2 inch tall strip and folded it in half again ending up with a 1 inch tall strip. This was pinned over the top edge of the burlap pocket and stitched in place. Doing this piecing not only adds an interesting patchwork look but it makes the next step easier.
I divided the width of the jean leg by 3 (for 3 pockets) and marked the leg by drawing a line from the bottom edge up to the height of the pocket. I placed the burlap pocket on the jean leg and stitched the sides down and stitched again to reinforce.
Next, I found the seams for the binding strip along the top of the fabric and lined them up on the lines I marked on the jean leg, pinning them in place. I pleated the bottom edge of the burlap pocket just by eyeballing the material and pinned the pleats down. I then stitched from the top of the pocket to the bottom between the pleats and stitched again to reinforce. Finally, I stitched along the pleated bottom edge of the burlap pocket. I stitched again 1/4 inch from the first stitch line. To keep the pockets more formed, I pleated the top edge of the pocket (again by eyeballing it) and stitched 1/4 inch from the edge just in the binding area. You can stitch farther down the side of the pocket to stabilize it even more if desired.
I always carry a pen and a journal or index cards to the garden with me so I can make notes about my plants. I added burlap pockets to the flaps that fold over to the inside of the bucket to tuck these into. If you do this, make sure to sew the pockets on "upside down" so they will be right side up when the flap is folded over.
To finish the caddy, I stitched the 2 jean leg panels to a nylon strap that fit in the recessed area of the lip at the top of the bucket and added a velcro closure. This strap should be about 6 inches longer than the circumference of the bucket and have a metal ring stitched to one end. Looping the strap through the metal ring allows for the strap to be pulled very snugly around the top of the bucket and held tightly in place with the velcro. MotThe tie on my bucket is purely decorative as it wouldn't support the weight of the caddy when the pockets are filled.
Although men's jeans are perfect for this project because they tend to have large, deep pockets, if you'll be making these as Mother's Day gifts, using a pair of your own jeans makes the gift a more sentimental one.
1 pair of jeans (mens' jeans typically offer larger pockets)
1/2 yard burlap
fabric scraps
2/3 yard fabric for ties
nylon strapping

Welcome from Dr. Peter Ngwafu, MPA Program Director
Welcome to the Master of Public Administration Program at Albany State University. The program offers a professional degree that prepares students for managerial and leadership positions in public agencies, non-profit organizations and the private sector. The MPA Program, founded in 1987, is now an autonomous entity within the College of Arts and Humanities and earned accreditation by The Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) in 2004.The program was subsequently re-accredited in 2012 through the 2017-2018 accreditation cycle.
Earning the Master of Public Administration degree requires the successful completion of 36 credit hours of course work, with a minimum of 21 hours of core course work, nine hours of course work in an area of concentration, three credit-hours for the Capstone report and three credit-hours for an internship. The curriculum combines both theory and practice, as it stresses the ideals of performance, accountability, professionalism and ethics. It also affords students the opportunity to strengthen their abilities to think critically, enhance both written and oral communication skills, utilize analytical techniques, draw on information technology and develop an awareness of professional ethics.
There are currently seven areas of concentration offered in the program: General Administration, Human Resources Management, Community and Economic Development, Health Administration, Criminal Justice Administration, Public Policy and, Water Resources Management and Policy. The MPA program collaborates with the Albany State University MBA program, the graduate Criminal Justice program and the College of Natural sciences to deliver the range of its educational services.
We welcome your interest in the program and will be delighted to talk with you. We encourage all qualified prospective students to apply to enter the program.
Peter A. Ngwafu, PhD

13 years
Today Carlos and I have been married 13 years. As usual, we don't have enough chirilicas to buy anything for each other – but that's okay. No amount of money in the world can buy what we have together and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
This isn't to say our marriage is perfect – far from it! Truth be told, we can be downright dysfunctional. There is passion – passion that leads to some of the hottest fights you'd never want to see, (though the passion is good for other things, too.) …One thing is for sure, it's never boring y ojalá our love for each other will always win out in the end.
Ya tú sabes, te quiero un chingo, Carlos.
El Guanaco + La Güera
(a poem for Carlos)
What more can I say,
que ya no te dijé,
me gusta como dices
"pata" en vez de "pie."
Tu Caliche makes me crazy
y tu familia de otra manera
aunque me llamen "Traisy"
I'm proud to be tu güera.
Sabes que te agradezco
for all the things you do
Tú trabajas muy fuerte
To buy mis Bubu Lubus.
The truth is that without you,
(and our two cipotes)
Yo ando bien perdida
igual a Don Quixote.
Ahora voy a decirte,
In front of all these gente,
Eres mi guanaco,
Posted on January 12, 2011, in amor, celebration, Corazón, el macho, humor, marriage, Salvadoreños and tagged poetry. Bookmark the permalink. 26 Comments.
happy anniversary!! 13 is a great (and impressive) number!
Puro amor! Congratulations. Blessings, Yolanda
Como siempre, palabras sinceras del corazon. You're work is incomparable to anything out there. Nobody has as much pasion and style as you…and believe me I know what you mean about marriage not being easy. Sometimes los pleitos just get the better of us.

Euroleauge for Life Sciences Scientific Student Conference in Warsaw
The ELLS Scientific Students Conferences (SSC) give students the opportunity to present their research projects or thesis to a broad international audience. The themes of the conferences are different every year, but can be seen from any discipline in the life sciences. Next to the possibility for students to learn from each other, scientific experts are present to give critique to the students' presentations and to give insight in their field of expertise. The conference is a way to formally and informally engage with fellow students and experts.

While the Hayes is mum on specifics about its new brake platform—Prime—there are plenty of images to be harvested from the InterWeb that show off the fresh produce.
We'll have to wait until early next month to get the full scoop, but until then we'll have to satiate our interest with these early spy shots of the new Prime Expert and Pro. Wild speculation: the new brakes will weigh less, offer more power than the already respectable Stroker platform, will have some sort of pad-contact adjustment (sadly lacking in said Stroker) and will taste great while being less filling.

Forest Research undertake research and provide expert advice on the effects of the physical and historic environment on forests and woodlands (and vice versa). We also develop sustainable establishment and management practices for both conventional forests and new woodlands located on farmland and brownfield sites.
The scope of this research and expertise encompasses:
- Research and monitoring of forest ecosystems
- Forest hydrology
- Soil science
- Climate change and atmospheric pollution
- Land reclamation and remediation, including the re-use of waste materials
- Urban geography
- Archaeology
- Managing the Forestry Commission Meteorological Stations across Britain
- Providing laboratory and consultancy services to the forestry industry.
Protection of the environment, and environmental threats to forests have become increasingly important issues in the last two decades. Since the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and the subsequent Helsinki Conference in 1993, the requirement for countries to practice 'Sustainable Forestry' has been made clear. Research is vital into the ways that forests interact with the physical environment so that policy, guidance and practice in sustainable forestry in the UK can be based on solid scientific principles.
Research programmes
Environmental research contributes to programmes within:
- Climate change
- Land regeneration and urban greening
- Sustainable forest management
- Woodlands and the environment.
Individual programmes include:
- Climate change: adapting forests and woodlands in Wales to a future climate
- Climate change: adapting Scotland's forests to a future climate
- Climate change: impacts
- Climate change impacts and adaptation in England's woodlands
- Climate change: mitigation
- Contamination and integrated remediation
- Developing restoration guidance for landfill sites
- Development of decision tools and best practice guidance (for land regeneration)
- Environmental change network
- Environmental benefits and impacts of greenspace development
- European network for long-term forest ecosystem and landscape research (ENFORS)
- Expected climate change and options for EU silviculture (ECHOES)
- Forest carbon dynamics
- Forest Focus review
- Forest hydrology
- Further development and implementation of an EU-level forest monitoring system (FutMon)
- Historic environment
- Integrated forest monitoring
- Intensive long term monitoring of forest ecosystems
- Management of multifunctional forests (MULTIFOR)
- Models for adaptive forest management in a changing climate (MOTIVE)

[quote user="TheEnigma"]Dolphins SHOULD take Floyd since their WR depth is atrocious now but they will go Tannehill to fill seats lol[/quote]
I do hope so people need to take more QBs
Tannehill is a bum..
I think Tannehill CAN do good but not in a cesspool like Miami. If he busts, I think it will be the Dolphins fault.

Gotta read this interview. Just saw ALPS last night in NYC and was thoroughly entertained by the twisted but sincere premise and storytelling. Everything just worked and clicked for me, and had me and others giggling at the alternately dark and uplifting surrealism of it all.

Love this guy,just really need to see Alps,nothing mentioned right now about a UK release

MOUNT VERNON The Alcove Restaurant and Bruce Jacklin and Co. know its time again for some side-splitting comedy and non-stop belly laughs as they present the upcoming Dinner Theater production of Ken Ludwigs Leading Ladies. In this hilarious comedy by the author of Lend Me A Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo, two English Shakespearean actors, Leo and Jack, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing Scenes from Shakespeare on the Moose Lodge circuit in rural Pennsylvania. When they hear that a wealthy old lady in York, Pa., is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, Max and Steve, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, on their way to the dowagers lavish home they find out that the relatives arent nephews, but nieces. But the show must go on and romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old ladys vivacious niece, Meg, whos engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that theres a wide world out there, but its not until she meets Maxine and Stephanie that she finally gets a taste of it.
Ian Ernsberger, who is definitely no stranger to uproarious farcical theater, directs the stellar cast and also plays the role of Leo/Maxine. The cast consists of many local favorites including Chris Johnson (Jack/Stephanie), Kate Redfield (Meg), Andrew Duffy (Duncan), Mickie Galajda (Florence), Jackie Hatch-Miller (Audrey), Dave Hammond (Doc) and Brian Horne (Butch). The production crew includes Scott Swingle and Sam Vance on lights and sound; Steve Herbst and Dan Bockover, set construction; Maureen Browning, stage manager and dresser; Megan Evans, costumes, props and dresser; Ruth Frady, dresser; and Carrie Crouch, posters and programs.
Tickets are on sale at The Alcove Restaurant, 116 S. Main St., Mount Vernon. The show will open on Saturday, April 13, with following performances on Fridays and Saturdays, April 19 - 27 with cocktails at 6:30 p.m., dinner at 7:30 p.m., and show at 8:30 p.m.) Tickets are priced depending on your meal choice and the price is all inclusive. There will be a special, no meal matinee performance on Saturday, April 27 at 2 p.m. Make your reservations with the online box office at www.mtvarts.com., or call the Alcove Restaurant at (740) 392-3076. Meal choice required at time of reservation.

Our daughter is two and acts out on a regular basis. She is a good girl,but she tests us all the time and sometimes places herself in danger by not listening to us. What disciplinary action have you taken with your daughter to make him/her understand that sometimes they're safety is in danger when they don't listen to us?
My son is ALWAYS getting hurt! I've pretty much come to terms that it is going to happen and I can only hope to minimize the severity as much as possible. What I have found works (most of the time) is to simply tell him "be careful you are going to hurt your head/arm/leg," in a very serious tone (not yelling but so that he knows I'm not playing), and looking him in the eyes At first these warnings meant nothing to him but now when he does get hurt as I comfort him I repeat the phrase "Mommy told you be careful, you hurt your _(whatever)_" I am glad to say that he is catching on more and more, but being two he can't really understand all the dangers I'm trying to save him from.

Henrico teen named Miss East Coast Junior
Davina Seoparsan, daughter of Dharmindra and Nirmala Seoparsan of Glen Allen, competed in the Miss American Coed East Coast Pageant in August and won the title of MAC East Coast Junior Teen 2012.

As the East Coast Junior Teen, Davina will compete in the November national pageant in Florida for the title of Miss American Junior Teen.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

After 3.5 weeks of travelling this hotel was perfect. Great rooms, delicious breakfast and an amazing terrace. The pool is warm, the views are amazing and it's a cool Place to sit and enjoy the santiago sun. I hope we get to come back."
The bellhop Dalner is very accommodating for a firstimer in Chile ! The breakfast is fabulous, varied and abundant, and the waiters and host very warm and helpful. The rooms are quite clean and the cleaning staff very friendly and eager to assist. The facilities are also great. Except the pool is small. I was very comfortable and felt very safe. Right next door is the costanera centre ! With a huge food court and loads of shops. Altho I found Acuaro centre better in the end, that's a little distance, 5 mins by bus. The tours by touristik are excellent ! I like Santiago a lot !"
The hotel was just about what I expected for the price I paid. Generally, costs are high in Santiago, and this was about mid-range from my perspective. I stayed four days. The hotel was clean. The maid service was excellent. I liked the ambiance of the dining room where I ate breakfast from the buffet each morning. The quality of the breakfast food was about average. I also had dinner once, and the food was good. The location is excellent for persons who want to see Santiago. It is very close to the Los Leones metro station and some nice restaurants."
About what we expected from a luxury hotel. Meals and Bar quite pricey even by Chilean standards. Our breakfast was included as part of our package and we took advantage of that and we had exceptional service from Jose Luis in the restaurant. He took a great deal of time with us answered our questions and encouraged us in using our (poor) spanish. Thanks Jose!!"
The hotel is located a bit off the main stays of Vina del Mar and Valpariaso, so it will take a bit to get to either via taxi (or bus), but not too long. Its a beautiful hotel with a lovely via of the ocean. The staff was exceptional and more than accomodating during our stay. My wife and I were there for our honeymoon and she became very ill mid-way through our stay. The hotel arranged for a doctor to come to the room and a hotel staff member helped translate from spanish to english. The hotel also arranged for someone to go and pickup the medication prescription the doctor gave us so I could stay and tend to my wife. The staff was very kind, and the cleaning staff was exceptional as well. I do not know her name but we had one of the cleaning staff come in which my wife was still sick in bed and she was very kind in cleaning around the room while my wife was asleep and asked the next day how she was doing. With all that, it made it such a great experience knowing we were taken care of. We had no idea where to go in the Valparaiso region and we had a driver the hotel arranged for us who was the most friendly you could expect, his name was Patricio (you could ask the Hotel for him I am sure they would be able to arrange him for a driver). He took us anywhere we needed for a fair price and told us all the history and things of Chile as he drove us around."
I really enjoyed this hotel, and all of the staff were very nice and helpful. Views from the hotel are wonderful, location on Cerro Concepcion is perfect. It is a really old building with great features, nice patios, but lots of stairs and it is not set up like a modern business hotel -- if you don't like this kind of thing, don't stay there. My room had everything I needed - bed, small desk, wardrobe. The desk could have been a little larger (I was on business so I used it a lot), but this was really very minor. WIFI worked great throughout the hotel, no problems."

A quirky, boutique hotel. Great staff, very helpful. Rooms are small but the terrace makes up for it. Valparasio is on a hill, so be prepared for walking! Restaurants are somewhat limited in area but we had great meals. Breakfast is included in price and very good. A fun hotel experience"
I highly recommend Hotel Santa Cruz as a choice for overnight stay while on a wine trip. The breakfast was amazing with many choices of food and drink. Check-in was quick and easy. The price was better on from an online booking site such as this than if you call the hotel. Wi-fi access was decent, though a little weak in some areas. Overall, an excellent place to stay."
Cute "hotel" one street off the main drag in Santa Cruz. Parking out front and a small pool out back. Delicious breakfast (egg, ham, cheese, bread, jams, fruit, juice, coffee, and a slice of cake!) and very friendly, helpful staff. If you are going to Santa Cruz - email the hotel ahead of time - and they can make some bookings for you at the local wineries. You cannot just show up and go. We did a horse-drawn carriage tour, tasting, & lunch at Viu Manent. HIGHLY recommend! Enjoy!"
This a great find. Quaint hotel in a vineyard and view from your balcony of the mountains. Location quiet except for some birds and dogs in the early morning. Close to many great vineyards. Room was clean and proper with wood doors to the balcony. All rooms with free WiFi and view. Breakfast included and was perfect with cheese, ham, fruit, toast and coffee. Eggs served also on ordering. No other meals served but the Bello Vino restaurant next door is walkable through the vineyard with the hotel dog as escort! They will give you a flashlight for the 5 min walk home. Food good there also. Not a 5 star American hotel but a great place to relax in a nice spot at a B&B. Hostess also was great and speaks English as well. Recommended."

Solar City IPO raises $92 million but doesn't deliver Chairman Elon Musk a great year
Jordan Strauss/Getty Images for Tesla
Elon Musk speaks onstage in Los Angeles. A $1 billion valuation for Solar City after its IPO would have been the perfect way to top off a great year.
Elon Musk almost had a truly great year. The CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX saw Tesla's Model S sedan named Motor Trend's Car of the Year and the Dragon capsule successfully rendezvous with the International Space Station and splash down in the Pacific twice.
And I named the visionary entrepreneur the DeBord Report 2012 L.A. Businessperson of the Year!
Musk is also Chairman of Solar City, the San Mateo-based solar panel installation and leasing startup. Solar City staged an initial public offering Thursday. That should have been icing on Musk's 2012 cake (the company is run by two of his cousins, while he's one of the main investors). But it didn't entirely turn out that way.
The IPO wasn't a disaster for Musk. Solar City raised $92 million in its Wall Street debut and now has a market cap of nearly $600 million. But the offering was priced lower than initially planned: $8 a share, rather than the $13 to $15 that had been announced in the lead up to the IPO. The higher price would have valued the company at a cool billion.
DeBord Report LA Businessperson of the Year Award goes to...Elon Musk!

Tesla Motors and SpaceX CEO is the DeBord Report's 2012 L.A. Businessperson of the Year!
On Tuesday, I announced that today (Thursday) the DeBord Report would be naming its 2012 L.A. Businessperson of the Year. To bring readers into the discussion, we also launched a poll, so that you good folks could vote for the two candidates:
•Former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, who bought the team for $430 million and sold it for...$2 billion!
•Tesla Motors and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who has created a market for high-end electric cars, opened the era of private space flight, and has declared his intention to retire on Mars.
First the results of the voting: It's Musk by a landslide: 91 percent versus only about 8 percent for McCourt. BUT that's still 8 percent for McCourt! So maybe he isn't as widely loathed as some thought.
One percent chose, as far as I can tell, Mickey Mouse. Someone always has to vote for Mickey Mouse...
Poll: Who should be LA Businessperson of the Year, Frank McCourt or Elon Musk?
Jordan Strauss/Getty Images for Tesla
Elon Musk has had quite a year. Tesla won Motor Trend's Car of the Year with its all-electric Model S. SpaceX went to International Space Station an kicked off the era of commercial space flight. And then there's the forthcoming Solar City IPO. Is he L.A.'s Businessman of the Year?
It's the time of year for year-end lists and … contests! Not to mention awards. For 2012, the DeBord Report will be conducting a simple contest to name L.A.'s Businessperson of the Year.
You can vote on the entrants in the poll below and share your thoughts in the comments, but I'll be making the final call. And so, without further ado, here are the candidates for the DeBord Report's 2012 L.A. Business Person of the Year.
The businessman that, for the most part, Angelenos love to hate. The former Dodgers owner made his fortune in parking lots back in Boston before coming west and buying the Boys in Blue from Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp in 2004 for $430 million.
In 2009, the long saga of Frank's divorce from wife Jamie and his subsequent battle with Major League Baseball began. By 2011, McCourt had put the team, then valued at around $750 million, into bankruptcy.
Elon Musk on a roll: First SpaceX succeeds, and now Tesla wins Motor Trend Car of the Year
Paul Sakuma/Associated Press
Tesla workers cheer on one the first Tesla Model S cars sold during a rally at the Tesla factory in Fremont, Calif., in June. The luxury all-electric sedan just won Motor Trend's Car of the Year award.
Elon Musk is a on a serious roll.
He's CEO of two companies: SpaceX and Tesla Motors. SpaceX, based near Los Angeles, just completed the first paid commerical resupply mission to the International Space Station.
The news just broke that Tesla's Model S sedan has won Motor Trend's Car of the Year award. And here's what the publication has to say:
[T]his is the first COTY winner in the 64-year history of the award not powered by an internal combustion engine? Sure, the Tesla's electric powertrain delivers the driving characteristics and packaging solutions that make the Model S stand out against many of its internal combustion engine peers. But it's only a part of the story. At its core, the Tesla Model S is simply a damned good car you happen to plug in to refuel.
Indeed. I'm not entirely sure, but I think this may be the first time that a car made in the San Francisco Bay Area has ever won COTY.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's rock star press conference after Dragon's splashdown
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk establishes a whole new image for final frontier.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is officially the hottest chief executive on Planet Earth. His Southern California space-exploration startup just staged the most impressive and successful demonstration of commercial space technology...well, ever.
Launch to splashdown, except for a last-second abort of a weekend blastoff — rectified a few days later — and a brief power outage or communications glitch at SpaceX's Hawthorne HQ, it all went off with nary a miscue.
Even the hardened space honchos at NASA are probably hoping for ride in Musk's personal Tesla Roadster in the near future (Musk is also CEO of Tesla Motors, the Silicon Valley electric carmaker).
Musk himself followed up the splashdown of the Dragon capsule in the Pacific with a telegenic and sound-bite laden press conference. My tweets of the event, which was carried live on NASA TV, are below. I left out a good one, in which Musk said that what he wanted to say to Dragon, bobbing scorched but intact in the blue ocean after enduring fiery re-entry, was: "Welcome back, baby. It's like seeing your kid come home."

Grazing cows favor meadow fescue
By JOHN VOGEL
After being forgotten in the wake of developing tall fescues, meadow fescue is staging a comeback for pasture grazing. "The grass has great potential for grazing-based livestock operations, where it's adapted," says Geoffrey Brink, research agronomist at the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison, Wis.
It's well-suited to frequent, managed grazing, he adds, but not as well-suited as taller grasses to hay management systems. Under Brink's six cutting trials, the center's Azov and Hidden Valley varieties yielded slightly less than tall fescues and orchardgrass, but more than the European Bartura meadow fescue.
Key Points
• Meadow fescue is staging a comeback via intensive grazing.
• Nutritional value may override slightly lower dry-matter yields.
• The jury is out on whether new varieties top new tall fescue varieties.
The best varieties may be yet to come. Mike Casler, a research geneticist also at the forage research center, says the newest genetic material from his breeding program has been released to seed producers. But it won't be commercially available for about four years.
Other commercial varieties are available from Barenbrug USA, DLF International, Euro Grass, Ampac Seed and Albert Lea Seed (organic), and possibly other sources. Unlike older tall fescue and ryegrass varieties, meadow fescues carry endophyte-friendly (nontoxic) fungi.
Better than tall fescue?
In two research pastures and plots, meadow fescue has been very productive and persistent when managed properly, notes Brink. It's more sensitive to grazing or harvest height than tall fescue and requires a 4-inch stubble to remain persistent, he points out.
A commercial endophyte-friendly tall fescue yielded about 10% more dry matter than meadow fescue, as cut six times a year to a 4-inch stubble. Dry matter, though, isn't necessarily the bottom line for graziers.
Brink tested three meadow fescue varieties against one variety of orchardgrass and one of tall fescue. "Meadow fescue had a nutritional forage quality advantage that may compensate for its slightly lower annual yield.
"At vegetative stage, cell-wall digestibility of meadow fescue is 5% to 8% greater than orchardgrass or tall fescue," he explains. "Cell-wall concentration [neutral detergent fiber] and protein are similar. Fiber digestability of meadow fescue generally is 4% to 7% higher than other cool-season grasses."
Meadow fescue is very winter-hardy, he adds. It's grown in the southern regions of the western Canadian provinces. But persistence depends greatly on soil type. Annual yields decrease as one moves further north.
An older meadow fescue was included in trial plots at the Agricultural Research Service Pasture Systems and Watershed Management Research Unit at State College, Pa. Harvested (not grazed) yields were comparable to orchardgrass-legume mixtures, reports Matt Sanderson, research agronomist.
"There's a lot of naturalized meadow fescue in Northeast pastures," he adds. "So, it should also be a fit in the Northeast."
Although meadow fescue was once popular in the lower Northeast, Cornell University research is focusing solely on tall fescue. Cornell agronomist Jerry Cherney explains: "Although hardy, meadow fescue isn't as persistent as tall fescue. And, new tall fescue varieties are very high-yielding in New York."
MADE to CHOMP: Meadow fescue may once again become a major grazing grass.

This is my first visit to and first question on this site, I hope this newbie question is suitable here.
Our lab has about 10 projects in ArcGIS 9 (a couple are made in ArcGIS 10) that includes the following in each:
- A georeferenced (WGS1984 geographical projection) raster seafloor image, representing areas of about 20m x 20m.
- A layer of points across the image, each of which is hyperlinked to documents residing on the same computer.
- A few layers of points (feature class) representing features in the raster image.
- A few layers of polygons (feature class) representing features in the raster image.
With the above, we have been able to:
- Analyse the areas outlined with the polygons and added buffers to some of them.
- Answer questions like: Does this kind of fish (represented by a layer of points) always occur near a certain rock type (represented by polygons or points).
- Add new seafloor images (as new layers) representing the same area, but taken at a later time, to see if the distribution of features in it have changed over time (i.e. there's 15% more fish, etc.).
In the future, we would like to add bathymetric data so that we can make a 3D view of seafloor represented by our images.
Finally the question: Can the above be successfully migrated to QGIS and HOW do I do it? (so we can save licensing fees and also use open source software, etc.)
P.S. Based on my initial look a QGIS, most of what I outlined above can be done, but can anyone confirm that?
P.S.2. If we do this, it needs to be done within the next couple of months, all by ourselves with no programming ability. (we don't have funds to hire someone to do the migration for us, or to add feature to QGIS)
Thank you very much for your answers.
